Courtyard by Marriott · 29-15 Queens | New York

Located at 29-15 Queens Plaza North, this Queens outpost offers a highly practical launchpad for exploring the city. You're less than a five-minute walk from major subway lines, putting Manhattan just a 15-to-20-minute ride away, with LaGuardia Airport also within easy reach. The rooms are notably spacious and tidy, featuring large windows and showers with handy temperature gauges. Because of the close proximity to the transit tracks, light sleepers may want to cue up a white-noise app to block out the passing trains. For those driving in, the hotel lacks its own parking, meaning you'll need to rely on an adjacent private garage for a daily fee.
